3. Model Digital-Age Work and Learning
Teachers exhibit knowledge, skills, and work processes representative of an innovative professional in a global and digital society. Teachers:
a. demonstrate fluency in technology systems and the transfer of current knowledge to new technologies and situations
b. collaborate with students, peers, parents, and community members using digital tools and resources to support student success
and innovation
c. communicate relevant information and ideas effectively to students, parents, and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats
d. model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning
Reflection:
There were many tools I was taught how to use in this class that fall under standard number three. The class website, blog, and photostory were all used to teach the class how to model digital-age work and learning for students. By having a classroom website parents and students can get involved online together. It also provides and easy, convenient way for parent to check up on what their child is learning. Having a classroom blog is also a great way to model digital-age work and learning. Teachers can either allow her students to participate in creating the blog, or he/she could use the blog to interact with other teachers. Either way creating a blog is a great way for students and teachers to interact with others throughout the world or US. Not only did I learn how to use blogs, but I have also learned that great information can be found on others blogs. It is a free way to get lesson or any other teaching ideas. I lastly learned that photostories are a great way to model a digital-age work and learning. Students can work together to create a photostory that can be posted on the classroom website or blog to share what they learned on a field trip or during a thematic unit. They can also be made by the teacher to introduce topics or to sum up lessons. Overall I feel that I learned how to really model and collaborate technologically with others throughout the course of this class.

Future Learning Goals:
In the future I would love to become more proficient in creating blogs, websites, and photostories. I learned a lot this semester about these tools; however, I know there is a lot more that can be learned. I would like to learn how to personalize blogs and websites more by adding more pictures and by setting up different formats. I really feel that using these tools in a classroom is very important, so I know I will use what I have learned. I also know I will learn more about these tools.
I also believe these artifacts will come in handy in the classroom!
ReplyDeleteI agree and blogs would be a good way to create a community of learners.
